In this resource, we have given info about Principles of a plant layout which is the placing of the right items coupled with the right place and the right method, to permit the flow of production process through the shortest possible distance in the shortest possible time.
Plant Layout and its principles
A plant layout is the placing of the right items coupled with the right place and the right method, to permit the flow of production process through the shortest possible distance in the shortest possible time.
The principles of plant layout can be stated as-
1. Integration of all factors - The plant should integrate all the essential resources of men, machines and materials in order to give an optimum level of production.
2. Minimum Movement - The less the movement of men, machines and materials, the less will be the cost of production. Thus, minimum movement of theses resources will provide cost efficiency.
3. Unidirectional flow - All materials should progressively move towards the same direction i.e. towards the stage of completion. Any back-tracking should be avoided here.
